December 2009 Where The Heck Is It?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Clues for this month

This is the seldom seen stele erected by an obscure Pharaoh, Wallyhotep III. It depicts the Pharaoh beseeching Osiris to intervene and make sure that his wife does not find incriminating papyrus testifying to his misdeeds…committed while the Great Royal Ornament thought he was off playing golf. Gifts include a jar of gin, and some Hershey’s Kisses candy (on the table between them)

Or not:

1. Where do you think this monument resides? Be very precise. Just naming the city is not good enough.

2. Who is the pharaoh depicted here?

3. If you don’t think those are Hershey’s Kisses on the table, what are they?

Bring your answers with you when you attend the next North Texas ARCE regular meeting (in January 2010). The correct answers will be divulged at that time.
